Kicking things off by wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 🥳 A big moment in this one is the launch for my new brand @en__masse . The site’s up for early access ahead of launch on 10th January, and it feels good to finally give the brand the attention it deserves. A lot of time has gone into getting the details right, from the fit to the fabric, including the heavy 550 GSM weight that feels just as good as the likes of Represent and Cole Buxton. It’s the kind of thing you only really notice once you’ve got it on, but it makes a big difference to the feeling of the quality. There’s also two big milestones with @firelight_lighting_ltd with the website now live after a lot of behind-the-scenes work. And the last of some great video content for @hairconshow Two projects that have been building steadily, so seeing them land feels like a big win. The rest of this video is relatively simple. A bit of time back at home, slowing things down, taking a breath, and reflecting on the year. A big thank you as always to the support from friends and family. If you’ve been following along, supporting, shopping, getting your haircut, sharing, or just watching quietly. It’s genuinely appreciated. Big things coming @theunderfound in 2026 🤘🏻 #enmasse #independentbrand #menswear #behindthescenes #smallbusiness

We have had a really busy few weeks in the store as well as several creative projects for @theunderfoundstudio coming to a close including the website for @en__masse being made available for early access (more on this in a future video) and a lovely meal @jardimaltrincham . We hugely appreciate all of the support in store the past 3 years and if you haven’t had a chance to get down yet, you’re missing out! ✂️ 👖🎤 #altrincham #smallbusiness #barber #manchester #independentfashion

This week brought a few updates: Another day completed for @backhealthy and new @coffeescrubco scents added to the @theunderfound lineup. They smell amazing I can’t want to try them. Away from work, I went to one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to @jamiroquaihq with @damianwebb and @lukeheart , had a glorious Chinese meal from Eat East Altrincham with @rhiannahrose , and a house-warming dinner with @rachaeltarpey and @benhiggin5 . Phew I need a lie down #videographer #smallbusiness #selfemployed #wigan

This week we’re in Altrincham to check out @thisismcrawards outstanding business of the year @theunderfound This store is pretty unique as they are a fashion boutique carrying x16 exclusive independent fashion brands from all over the world, they are the number one rated barbershop in Altrincham and they also play Live music from a variety of grassroots musicians. All in one place! Located on Oxford road in Altrincham, pop by and say hello to owners Andy @andyjohnconway and Rhiannah @rhiannahrose and I’m sure you’ll be hooked just like we are! 🧡 #brandstorytelling #smallbusinessmanchester #fashionboutiques

Another weekly update for @theunderfound @theunderfoundstudio starting off with @rhiannahrose and I attending @ilovemanchester awards! A fantastic evening all round with us finishing up as finalists in the Alan Turning, Emmeline Pankhurst and Most Loved Fashion Brand categories. Then onto filming @_o_munro exhibition at @mcrartgallery (more on that soon) and then starting a filming project for @backhealthy with @themartinlowe ! #business #independentfashion #ilovemcr #videography #manchester

Another busy day down at @theunderfound this weekend with some filming taking place by the team at @vedit.media for a series of videos spotlighting exciting independent businesses which were happy to be a part of! Some absolutely stunning new stock landed from @ingmarson_london and to cap it off we had a set from my mate and resident UNDERFOUND DJ @5h4y.k . I love my job #independentbusiness #smallbusiness #fashionretail #barbering #manchester

Anyone else finding doing these kind of videos hard? I’m finding it challenging to allocate time for these updates, as they’re always really low priority for me and what doesn’t help is that I find them difficult and I’ve scrapped so many through them not being ‘good enough.’ I much prefer being behind the camera! Haha If you have a small business of your own or perhaps you’re a self employed creative, how do you manage it?📝 #selfemployed #creative #smallbusiness #ukbrand
